Field sampling and microcolumn preconcentration techniques in inductively coupled plasma spectrometry.
This thesis is concerned with analytical studies on the trace analytes barium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, vanadium and zinc, present in high purity and highly complex matrices. The technique utilises activated alumina microcolumns in a flow injection (FI) …

Solid sample introduction in inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.
This Thesis describes the progress made in the area of solid sample introduction in Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometry (ICP-ES). As an alternative to solution nebulisation two methods of introducing samples to the ICP are investigated. The first of these uses the direct insertion …

Pilot Study using Elemental Geochemistry as a Means of Discriminating Chert Stratigraphy in the Roberts Mountains Allochthon, Nevada
… data instead of time intensive, and sometimes difficult fossil identification. The data set consists of 82 samples used for handheld XRF analysis and 66 for ICP-MS and ICP-OES analysis. Samples were collected from 6 localities in 5 ranges, all with known ages based on radiolarian …

Removal of Heavy Metals Using Modified Limestone Media: Zinc and Cadmium
… have many negative impacts on human health. Limestone is an inexpensive and simple media for removing high concentrations of heavy metals from drinking water supplies. Ferric based media is commonly used to remove zinc, cadmium, lead, arsenic and other heavy metals. The drinking water standards …

Characterization of Uranium and Rare Earth Element Mobility and Attenuation Downstream of Decommissioned Tailings Impoundments at the Bicroft Mine near Bancroft, Ontario
… of uranium (U) and rare earth elements (REEs) has been observed in stream and wetland sediments, but the geochemical and mineralogical processes involved in sequestering these elements in natural systems are not well understood. The decommissioned Bicroft Uranium Mine near Bancroft, ON uses …

Large-scale hydrothermal dolomitisation in the southwestern Cantabrian Zone (NW Spain) : causes and controls of the process and origin of the dolomitising fluids
The Cantabrian Zone in NW Spain represents the foreland belt of the Variscan Iberian Massif and is made up of a Precambrian basement covered by Palaeozoic sediments. This succession was thrusted and folded in Late Carboniferous time during the Variscan Orogeny, resulting in several thin-skinned …
